My favorite summing up today:
"We now have cultural machines so powerful that one singer can reach
everybody in the world, and make all the other singers feel inferior
because they're not like him. Once that gets started, he gets backed by so much
cash and so much power that he becomes a monstrous invader from outer space,
crushing the life out of all the other human possibilities. My life has
been devoted to opposing that tendency." (Alan Lomax, in an interview with
The New York Times)
